The bill amends sections of Florida Statutes related to the use of wireless communications devices on school grounds. It changes the prohibition of student use from "instructional time" to "the school day," allowing for more flexibility in when students can use their devices. Additionally, it requires district school boards to designate specific locations within school buildings where students may use their wireless communications devices during the school day, provided they have express permission from a school administrator.

The bill also modifies the responsibilities of teachers and school boards regarding student conduct. It removes the requirement for teachers to designate an area for wireless communications devices during instructional time and instead emphasizes the need for district school boards to adopt rules governing device use. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
